Big Brother isn’t watching you, he’s listening to this week’s Off The Chart as we go back to this day in 1984 for another two hours of hits, headlines and humanity. There’s a brace of forgotten and half-remembered hits, three tracks from one of the week’s biggest albums, a hit from the US Billboard Hot 100, a look at the day’s events and the top five singles in full. Who was enjoying their first UK top forty hit a mere fifteen years into their career? Which band recruited two new members simply because they looked good as cartoon characters? And who was buying a record by two 1930s film stars? Tune in at 10am and all will be revealed!

Listen to Off The Chart on Mad Wasp Radio via their website, their apps for iOS or Android, or through TuneIn – and don’t forget to tweet along using the hashtag #OffTheChart. If you’re not around at 10am on a Saturday, or you couldn’t quite believe it the first time round, you can hear the show again at 6am on Sunday (which is still really Saturday if you don’t go to bed) or catch up on Mixcloud from Sunday morning.

If you enjoy Off The Chart but find it’s just not long enough, why not head over to our Patreon page and subscribe to us for a teeny amount of cash every month? You get access to the exclusive deluxe edition of the show with bonus 12″ mixes and the foreign chart rundown, as well as all sorts of other bonus content including regular Further Off The Chart shows where we play some of the records that come up in conversation on the regular shows. You can have all this for as little as $1 a month – we really appreciate it and it all goes towards the running of the site.

If you’ve missed a previous edition they’re all on our Mixcloud page, or for a taster of the music we play, listen to our Spotify playlist Way Off The Chart including one track from each show!

We also have a Spotify playlist for our #ICEOTWF feature, including all (well, most) of the international hits we’ve played since the feature began in March 2017. There are all sorts of oddities in here, all of which were hits somewhere in the world but not in the UK!

As part of my Msc in Social Research I am researching the impact of Covid-19 on the performing arts industries.
